The locations include the Great Barrier Reef near Australia (shown in the image above), Apo Island in the Philippines, and a couple spots in the Hawaiian islands — including Molokini crater off Maui, one of my favorite snorkeling/snuba-ing spots. Trust me … the underwater imagery isn’t the same as being down there yourself, but it’s a pretty darn good substitute.

Here’s a short Google video showing some of the new undersea images and how the Catlin Seaview Survey took them. You enjoy it while I go research airfare to Maui.
